@hsdecktech Hey, do you think it'd be possible to show CE(S)T timezone on posts that have some kind of important time attached to it? I know you show GMT, but Central Europe would be appreciated even more I'd say. 😄 People always ask me about when certain things are coming out.

      @imik_plays Two questions from a non-euro: 1) I always thought GMT was like the most famous time, that’s why it was picked. Is that not so there? 2) Can people not just easily calculate the difference?

        @imik_plays And a statement: People always ask me when stuff is happening regardless, even people in Pacific with me, so there’s only so much we can do here, so just temper expectations a bit.

          @hsdecktech If you look at timezones, basically almost the whole Europe is in CE(S)T, which is UTC+1 I believe. What you have now (GMT) is only for some small countries on the left side of Europe/Africa and like 1/2 the year for the UK. So that timezone makes almost no sense I'd say. https://t.co/1VApu9mSxM

            @hsdecktech By changing it to CE(S)T, it'd cover a much bigger area of countries and it'd probably be even easier for the UK people to know the time when certain things come out.

              @imik_plays You had me until the "even easier for UK," I don't follow that part, but regardless the other part makes sense and is well received. There's no particular desire to use any specific time aside from Pacific, so if another serves this same goal better, that's good to know.
